Condorito: The new star slot from Vibra Gaming

Published

on

 

Vibra Gaming has launched its latest flagship slot game based on the story of Condorito, after acquiring the rights to the legendary Latin American character.

Vibra Gaming, the leading games and platform developer for the LatAm region, has launched the long-awaited title, based on the adventures of the famous character Condorito, or Little Condor in English.

The new slot includes famous catchphrases from the comic strip such as ‘Plop!’ as well as several of the famous Chilean Condor’s cartoon sidekicks such as Yayita, his eternal lover, his rival, Pepe Cortisona, and his great friends, Huevo Duro and Garganta de Lata.

The world depicted in the much-loved comic is the main source of inspiration for the slot game with the main screen representing the city of Pelotillehue, where Condorito’s adventures take place.

The slot has more than 12 symbols that show different characters and key elements of the story in addition to a series of special features that provide variety to the gaming experience while highlighting different elements of the story.

Condorito and Pepe Cortisona fight for Yayita’s love in one feature, while in another the Wild Condorito symbol can unexpectedly appear in different areas of the main screen with the classic ‘Plop’, replacing different symbols to award a host of prizes.

In the Free Spins bonus, the screen changes completely and the Pelotillehue FC soccer field is shown where Condorito and Pepe Cortisona face each other in a fierce match filled with excitement with even more great prizes for players.

The Condorito comic strip was first published in 1949 and, since then, has continued to grow until becoming one of the most widely read comics in Latin America.

Condorito has been a huge success in several LatAm countries. In Colombia, it became the most widely read magazine while, in Chile, its country of origin, Condorito is known as the most recognised real or fictitious character.

Fortnightly, special and luxury editions of the comic were published, as well as millions of views on social media, licensed products, and an animated film. For more than 70 years the beloved Condorito, created by René Ríos, better known as ‘Pepo’, has become part of the culture and fabric of popular culture in Latin America.

Christian Zuñiga, Manager of New Business for Chile and LatAm at World Editors Chile – Condorito, said: “We are delighted to work with such a renowned and outstanding company in LatAm as Vibra Gaming. Step-by-step we have witnessed the passion they give to each one of their creations and we are sure that we have left Condorito and his friends in excellent hands.”

Ramiro Atucha, CEO, Vibra Gaming, said: “We have been getting ready for this launch, our most awaited release of the year, for several months now. We are grateful to the whole team of World Editors Chile for entrusting us with this licence, and to all our team for their great work in delivering such a s great gaming experience for Condorito fans everywhere. It is a pleasure to bring Condorito to the slots world.”

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has agreed a deal with Ontario-based operator Betty to supply the rapidly growing online casino with a diverse collection of globally popular titles.

Betty, an official partner of sporting franchises Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors, has risen to prominence since its 2022 establishment, when it was built following the consultation of 300 casino players to create the optimal iGaming environment.

Distinguishing itself from North American competitors by catering specifically to slot enthusiasts rather than sports bettors, the operator has curated a portfolio of 2,800 games, hand-picked to deliver customers maximum entertainment value.

Thunderkick’s content is the latest to be integrated into Betty’s online casino, and the agreement will see a selection of its most popular titles, including The Wildos 2, Midas Golden Touch 3, and Esqueleto Explosivo 3, made available to a greater number of Ontarian players.

Thunderkick marked its debut in the Canadian province in Q2 of 2024, and has since partnered with a network of leading operators to improve its market position. The collaboration with Betty will further amplify its visibility in a key jurisdiction as the provider looks to reinforce its reputation as a global slot developer.

Svante Sahlström, CCO at Thunderkick, said: “It’s our mission at Thunderkick to go deeper, not wider, in 2025. That means forging meaningful, lasting relationships in target markets as opposed to securing as many commercial deals as possible.

“Since entering Ontario over 12 months ago, we have worked tirelessly to enhance our presence in the province, and working with leading brands such as Betty allows us to bring our unique games to a deeper pool of Canadian players.”

Paraskeva Smirnova, Casino Operations Manager at Betty, added: “Betty’s USP has always been our drive to build a slot portfolio with the very best titles from the industry’s most creative suppliers.

“Thunderkick’s passion for slot development is there for all to see, and the introduction of its games to our casino further elevates the consumer experience.”
